Guest Review: AEG UltraCaptic Vacuum Cleaner

Tuesday, 30 July 2013

A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to be asked to take a look at the
brand new AEG UltraCaptic vacuum cleaner and with a house as busy as
ours I knew that this stylish vacuum cleaner would definitely be put
through its cleaning paces.
Now if you’re anything like me then the first thing you’ll consider
when buying any household appliance is what you’re going to get for your
pennies but with a long list of features it certainly seems that the AEG
UltraCaptic ticks all the boxes.

I have to admit that if you saw my house on a bad day you wouldn't
believe that only three of us lived here. We seem to make enough mess to
be worthy of an army troop and as I’m a little bit of a clean freak all
I ever seem to do it tidy up after my messy boys, so a vacuum cleaner
which is powerful, adaptable and easy to manoeuvre is a definite must.
Luckily for us the very stylish UltraCaptic vacuum cleaner comes with
three different nozzles allowing it to be used on any floor type and
believe me we have a fair few in this house. From tiles in the kitchen
and laminate in the front room to lino in the bathroom and carpets in
two out of the three bedrooms, the UltraCaptic certainly has a lot to
tackle here.

The UltraCaptics chunky Turbo nozzle works extremely well on both long
haired carpets and households with malting pets.However I personally
found it perfect at sucking up the extensive amount of hair that seems
to malt from my own head on a daily basis!
The slim line Parketto nozzle is an absolute dream to use on laminate,
wooden and lino floors and seems to pick up every last speck of dust and
dirt leaving my floors beautifully clean which is something a normal
nozzle never seems to do.

The UltraCaptics Silent AeroPro Silent nozzle is brilliant for general
cleaning as it can be easily switched between hard and carpeted floor
settings at the click of a button and thanks to the low level of noise
it emits it's ideal for using once the little man is sleeping.
These three nozzles combined with the UltraCaptics fab AeroPro 3-in-1
tool, telescopic pole and AeroPro Ergo handle ensures that this this
funky vacuum cleaner is brilliant at sprucing up any type of surface and
does so with ease whilst the long power cable, soft chunky rubber handle
and soft rubber wheels make manoeuvring the UltraCaptic a very easy task
indeed.
Another fab feature of the UltraCaptic is it's HEPA 13 allergy filter
which traps even the smallest particles and lets nothing escape apart
from fresh air making the UltraCaptic an ideal vacuum cleaner for
allergy sufferers .
Whilst Ithink that all of these features are brilliant my absolute
favourite feature has to be the UltraCaptics super easy emptying system.
Now at some point we've all experienced a face full of dust when trying
to empty a bag less vacuum haven’t we? Well the very cool Compact,
Remove and Go emptying system prevents those dust clouds from attacking
– check it out below.

The UltraCaptic is by far the best vacuum cleaner I have owned and at
present the only minor niggle I've found is it's 6.9kg weight which
whilst it isn't an issue for us it won't be ideal for some buyers.
I’ve been using the AEG UltraCaptic Ucanimal for a few weeks now and I
have been bowled over with both its funky style and it's brilliant
functionality and in my personal opinion it really is a brilliant
cylinder vacuum cleaner and certainly one which I will be recommending
to my friends and family .
Priced at around £299 the AEG UltraCaptic is at the higher end of the
price market but as they say you get what you pay for and this stylish
vacuum cleaner is certainly worthy the pennies.
